slut walk is BLIND copying western trends

It was considered a taboo and impropriety to cover the breasts in 18th and 19th century kerala.south india 'upto 1960 in malabar areasThe nair women and high caste women covered their breasts with a white mundu tied above the breast level 'covering down upto the ankle.

The dalit(called low caste and out caste) where not allowed to cover their breasts,and forbidden by force to uncover, if they covered.unfortunately the royal family of kerala didnot support lower caste(dalit) woman covering their breasts

IN MALABAR:-Shaikh Zainuddin gives interesting details of this mode of dress; only a single loin cloth is girdled round the waist leaving the upper part exposed. In this respect males and females, rajas and nobles, rich and poor are equal.”

16OO PAINTING OF A MAN AND WOMAN OF KERALA

None of the Hindu ladies except Brahmins thought that the breast was to cover;and to them to cover the breast was an act of immodesty. “The caste law prohibits a Nair lady to cover her breast. There are instances of cruelties inflicted upon the ladies for violating these laws.

An Ezhava lady who happened to travel abroad and returned well dressed was summoned by the Queen of Attingal and her breast was cut off for covering them. In Travancore a riot occurred when a group of upper caste men assaulted a lady of Ezhava caste for wearing cloth below her knees. In 1859 another riot took place in Travancore and continued for several days, when the ladies of Channar caste started to cover the breast. The revolt was called chela kalapam (cloth revolt). It became very important that later scholars regarded it as a part of the struggle for independence.Unlike his co-religionists in Malabar, Tipu never respected Hindu customs and traditions which Hindus considered as divine and virtuous while to the sultan they were inhumane and obnoxious. His decrees against polyandry and nudity of women really infuriated Hindus who thought that Sultan was planning to convert them to Islam. The attitude showed by Hindus when Tipu asked the women of Nair families “to adopt Muhammadan custom of covering their bosom” clearly proves their intention towards reforms. The christian missionaries supported by the British resident were helping the lowcaste woman converted to christianity to cover their breasts in 1859 a royal promulgation was passed that, all low caste women should remain naked above waist ;except those converted to christianityfinally in 1865 British governor of madras(now called chennai) who had power over kerala (Travncore) king ;passed a legislation ;to cover breasts of all women irrespective of caste or religion.this ruling had to be followed by the king of travancore also

If SHE asks you ... it's a favour.If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear ... you're a pervert.If you don't ... you're gay.If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape ... you're sexist.If you don't ... you're unromantic.If you try to keep yourself in shape ... you're vain.If you don't ... you're a slob.

If you don't ... there must be someone else.

She is the woman who famously said, A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle'. At 80, feministGloria Steinemhas
lost none of the spirit, sparkle or humour that marked her radical
writings. In Delhi to launch her latest collection of landmark essays,
As if Women Really Matter, she tells Malini Nair that she is awed by the
on-the-street radicalism of young Indian womenPost the December 16 gang rape in Delhi last year, it is as though there is a sudden and dramatic realization in Indian women of their self-worth. How do you see this? It was like lighting a match to dry tinder. If this had happened 20
years ago the energy would have been suppressed. Women are no longer
saying 'give us protection' because protection is more imprisoning. They
are saying: give us justice. It will take a long time for the rest of
the society to get used to it and accept it. But I believe that men are
also beginning to tire of forever playing masculine roles of being
aggressors and protectors. They realize that gender stereotypes are bad
for them too. Feminism in India is now facing
generational differences. The older feminists who fought core issues
seem not quite comfortable dealing with ideas like the slut walk. Movements often pick up 'bad' words and turn them into 'good' words to
assert their power. I was once called 'the slut from East Toledo' on a
TV show in Ohio where I was born. When I was a teenager I would have
cringed at the insult because East Toledo was this really run down
place. But we had just finished protesting at the Wall Street, and share
prices were tumbling and I was thrilled to hear the insult. I said
great, put that on my tombstone: 'here lies the slut from East Toledo'. But the fact is that a lot of young women disown the label 'feminism'. Well, what do you expect? The word has been made fun of for 40 years.
And I say if they are doing what they are doing without wanting a name
on it, fine. Maybe they tell themselves that if they fight but don't
give themselves a label no one will notice (laughs). I was called
feminazi every week by the conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh.
I say use whatever name you want — womanist works, why even gurrrl
power works. But the fact is that young women today are better bullshit
detectors. I am often asked by young feminists why do you smile so much?
And I say I was brought up in the '50 when women were told to smile all
the time! What is your verdict on the unending debate — can women have it all? That is utter bullshit. I don't want it all and no one can have it all.
No one asks men that question. In this age we all need to have jobs and
we need to redefine traditional roles in a family. We need the
workplace to realize that we (both men and women) have a life and need
time for the family. This having it all line is a great con job men have
pulled on women so they do it all (laughs). You are a part of anti-trafficking efforts of the Ruchira Gupta-led NGO Apne Aap. How should a country tackle prostitution? I turned against the legalizing of prostitution when I saw that in Las
Vegas they were forcing women off welfare and into prostitution. People
are beginning to realize — like Netherlands did — that legalizing
prostitution can have horrific consequences because it breeds crime,
thrives on the use of force and degrades women. The Nordic model works
the best — arrest the pimp, the supplier, the agent, the transporter,
not the woman. Beyonce just declared that gender equality is a myth because men still earn far more than women for the same job. If the US ensures that women are paid as much as men, there would be
$200 billion dollars more in the economy and that money will not be
gambled or drunk away. They should give us equal pay for the good of the
national economy! Looking back, how do you see the journey of feminism? There are two myths in circulation now about feminism
— that it is over and that it has failed. The message is and has always
been — 'Stop now!' I was naive when I started out and I thought if we
can explain these terrible inequalities then it will all change. But it
took me a while to realize that gender was about controlling profits,
controlling production and above all controlling reproduction. The
failure was of my imagination, not the movement. It has only been 40
years. Give the movement another 60.
